Mkhitaryan's Arsenal shirt number revealed

New Arsenal signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan will wear the No.7 shirt for his new club, the Gunners have revealed.

Mkhitaryan made 11 Premier League starts this season under Jose Mourinho before leaving for Arsenal, failing to establish himself as a regular first choice under the Portuguese during his time at the club.

Mkhitaryan has taken Alexis' No.7 shirt at Arsenal but he will not be able to wear that jersey in the Europa League, the Premier League club have confirmed.

This is because the Chilean, who will also wear the No.7 shirt for Manchester United, played for the Gunners in the current Europa League campaign -their 3-1 win over Cologne back in September- wearing that same squad number.

Therefore Mkhitaryan must choose an alternative number for the remainder of the club's Europa League campaign this season, with the Gunners stating that it will be "confirmed soon".
